Honda has switched manufacturers recently. And the newer FRAM-built filters are - IMO- to be avoided at all cost.
I had an NTPOG article that reviewed the range of oil filters, and the SAE members who contributed to the site on which the article was posted were very critical of the cost cutting measures FRAM had taken... OTOH, the Hastings, Mobil 1 and K&N filters have been praised consistently, both in performance and in construction.
